THIS.
Nowadays, it's a meme because of difficulties getting the shit back to Earth but if it were possible? If it were viable? Water, hellium-3 for nuclear fusion, iron, nickel, gold, especially platinum, palladium, rhodium, just to name a few metals. People would spend whole careers developing new ways to extract them efficiently. If it were viable, this would be the gold rush of the future. There's no way big corporations would miss this. Asteroid 16 Psyche for example has multi quintillions estimated value in gold.
